limexMapDownloader

Bash Script to download TMS Tiles and merge them for easy Printing with Scale Bar.

Prerequisites:

• This .sh file is expected in C:\progs\limexMapDownloader
• Place in the same folder: awk (download from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm)
• Also ImageMagick () is expected in folder C:\progs\ImageMagick

What it does:

• Script stores the tiles in /in Folder and deletes them before the next run for the selected Map and zoom
• Script stores the merged map in /out and adds a scale bar at the lower right corner

What you need to config for each map download:

• Change the Lat Long "Box" of the downloadable Map (Line 87 and 88)
• Change the Zoom (Line 102): i.e. Z=15
• Change the Tile Server (Line 120): Uncomment i.e. Line with TILE_NAME="SigmaCycle"; .....

Code is based on:

Remarks:

This is my first bash file, so please dont expect a masterpiece. I used bash because the original downloader idea was in bash. The script is a quick and dirty hack to get the stuff done: Get a printable A3 Map without downloading expensive Apps or paying for printing service. Everyone is invited to extend and change the code.
